T204 Ramly Cigarettes cards of 1909 feature a beautiful black-and-white portrait of each player encircled in an ornate border with the player's name, position, and team affiliation printed at the bottom. The cards, which are embossed and highlighted with gold ink, are extremely condition-sensitive because they are printed on flimsy paper. The gold borders are also very susceptible to chipping, as is the case with most gold-bordered cards. Between the outstanding player selection and the overall beauty of the issue, higher-grade examples from the set are extremely pricey, making affordable specimens tough to find.

PSA has only ever graded 33 total examples of this 1909 Ramly T204 of Hall of Famer Jesse Burkett with an oval frame.

Centering is east on the canvas. There is significant edge wear and chipping that is so common with the set's gold borders, particularly in the corners. There are creases throughout the card, again, particularly in the corners. There are multiple surface abrasions within the portrait area of the Hall of Famer, but his image is still visible thanks to the original beauty of the printing. The reverse has some soiling, especially along the bottom and right side, not unusual for these cards, where the embossing can act like a dust magnet. There is also a spot of purple ink in the top right corner of the back, which does not bleed through to the front.

Attractive Ramlys are among the most beautiful cards in the hobby, but the eye appeal of the issue can sometimes suffer in the lower grades. The scarcity of this issue far outweighs any perceived cosmetic flaws on this example of the Hall of Famer.
